Race Registration

Registration for the race and payment of the entry fee is possible until March 12, 2027 (Friday) at 23:59 or until capacity is filled. Registration is valid upon payment of the entry fee. If you have not paid the entry fee after registering, you will be removed from the list within 7 days and the registration will be considered invalid. Therefore, after registering, immediately pay the entry fee to avoid unnecessary inconvenience.

Cancellation Insurance

We have also enabled cancellation insurance, which amounts to €7. The insurance serves so that if you cannot participate in the race and have paid the entry fee, we will refund the full amount of the entry fee if the request is submitted no later than March 15, 2027 to the email race@akmaraton2000.hr. When registering for the race, if you wish to pay for cancellation insurance, check the “Cancellation Insurance” box and the amount of €8, which is the insurance fee, will automatically be added to your entry fee.
